CBI’s reaction to latest Labour Market statistics.

Matthew Percival, CBI Director for People and Skills policy, said:

“Highs and lows continue in the UK labour market with rising employment and a record number of jobs available. Yet pay is not keeping pace with inflation and long-term sickness absence continues to drive rising inactivity.

“Supporting employee health so that people are able to return to work requires sustained effort from employers and government.”
